AGE OF REASON'S WORLD

We're dying share all our SS12 photos with you, but we're being restrained until the website launch on Feb 29th. In the meantime here's a little peek into our world.

Above is the Age of Reason desk, variously used by Ali and Charlie. Our favourite item on this desk is the bird painting by Victor Reyes of the 7th Letter Crew. This was an art swap with Reyes, who Ali did a pen and ink drawing for. Our other favourite thing is the wooden medicine man mask hanging on the wall on the left. Ali bartered for this in Bandiagara Mali a few years back. There's also a South African tumb piano hanging on the wall on the right above the old travelling chest.

This is Ali's drawing table on a lovely sunny day. Most of the furniture was lovingly collected from Spitalfields market and ebay. The storage boxes came from a stall at a fair in Brighton. The best thing though is the little Phil Frost painting, which takes pride of place above the desk. We like a bit of art.

WHAT WE DO

Age of Reason is a UK accessories label making beautiful scarves, hats and cushions in Britain. As a label we pride ourselves on quality and integrity, creating wearable luxury with a playful, punk twist. Audacious prints and beautiful fabrics define our collections, which are stocked in great boutiques around the world.

HOW WE DO IT

Every fine accessory we produce is Made in England from natural fibres like pure silk, wool, chiffon and cotton velvet. We've scoured the country to source the finest materials, and only work with the very best UK based artisans who can meet our high standards. Each textile-based piece is hemmed and hand finished by a skilled seamstress in Yorkshire, while our hats are made in Sussex using traditional methods.
